Product Description
John Walkenbach comments on the new Excel: "I've been using Excel for over 15 years, and Excel 2007 is by far the most significant upgrade ever. For starters, we've got a new user interface, new open file formats, a larger worksheet grid, better use of memory and CPUs, new functions, and more templates. Dig a bit deeper and you'll find worksheet tables, 100 levels of undo, easier formula construction, better-looking charts, unlimited color choices, SmartArt, a handy page layout view, new conditional formatting options, new collaboration features, a very useful compatibility checker, workbook themes—and even 'skins' so you can change the look of the entire program." John Walkenbach's Favorite Excel 2007 Tips & Tricks consists of a series of non-trivial tips and tricks that cover all aspects of Excel. Tips are improved ways of maximizing the power of Excel to create robust applications. Tricks are shortcuts that will speed up application development with Excel. John's favorites include tips and tricks on dealing with function arguments, creating "impossible" charts, pivot tables, taming the new Ribbon, why use a UserForm, how to create add-ins in Excel 2007, absolute vs. relative references, changing data entry orientation, overcoming the 7-level nesting limit, dynamic chart data, sorting on more than three columns, entering fake data for testing purposes, custom functions, and much more.

Every Excel person should have this as a desktop reference. Shows how to do those difficult tasks that we all encounter. A good "cookbook" with clear examples.

Love it! This guy sure knows how to write a reference book that you don't have to read the whole thing to understand. Anyone who has a concept of how Excel works can understand this book. Quick answers and practical. Good one!

The book is kind of pricey (but then so are most computer-related books.. well, so are most books, actually) but if you are a frequent user of Excel who uses it for a variety of tasks, this is a good book to have. I think it is good for browsing; yes you can look for specific tips and tricks but I find it interesting just to read through the book to see what sort of shortcuts and illuminations the author has, and to think about whether or not it is something I might be able to utilize.
There's a lot of things I think about when working with Excel that I wonder if there is an easier way to handle, but being in a rush I just do it the way I'm accustomed to doing without taking time to investigate it more. Then I forget about it later. By browsing the book, I run across some of those things and voila, there's a tip or trick that does show me how to accomplish the task in an easier way. It's a useful, practical book.

It has many useful tips on optimising the use of Excel, particularly for frequent spreadsheet users. The tips and tricks are designed to improve the functionality of using spreadsheets, particularly in enhancing spreadsheet productivity and providing enhanced end-user benefits. In brief, this book will save the average Excel user a lot of "trial and error learning" by providing the necessary quick solutions. Perhaps it is also a fast method of acquiring Excel competency compared to the usual unaided approach.
